Which makes this little confrontation tragically funny:

Sheryl we could not say it any better. There must be a price to pay when you help pimp a war. One of  them should be if your child is in the military then he should serve his nation in combat. God Bless him and that he never suffer a scratch on his body, just like every other American serving in Iraq. However if he goes to Iraq what ever happens to him would be up to God.

But, if George Pataki has sleepless nights every single day his son is in Iraq. If the phone rings and it makes his heart skip. If watching the News about insurgency takes years off his life. Then so be it. He helped pimped this war. Maybe the experience will teach George to be a little less anxious when pimping a war other people's (Or his own) children have to fight.

But, The Boys at the Rat know that Teddy is a Governor's son. He's got as much of chance fighting in Iraq as the Bush twin's do.

"Honorin'"??? How about offerin' her som' Barbecue while yer at it. Dinkle berry her son DIED for your dumbass war! How about some decency???

"His mouth kept moving, but there was nothing in his eyes or anything else about him that showed me he really cared or had any real compassion at all. This is a human being totally disconnected from humanity and reality. His eyes were empty, hollow shells and he was acting like I should be proud to just be in his presence when it was my son who died for his illegal war! It was one of the most disgusting experiences I ever had and it took me almost a year to even talk about it," said Sheehan in a telephone conversation from Washington D.C. where she was attending a July 4th anti-war rally.

Sheehan said the June 2004 private meeting with the President went from bad to worse to a nightmare when Bush acted like he didn’t even want to know her name. She said Bush kept referring to her as ‘Ma’ or ‘Mom’ while he "put on a phony act," saying things like ‘Mom, I can’t even imagine losing a loved one, a mother or a father or a sister or a brother.’

"The whole meeting was simply bizarre and disgusting, designed to intimidate instead of providing compassion. He didn’t even know our names," said Sheehan. "Finally I got so upset I just looked him in the eye, saying ‘I think you can imagine losing someone. You have two daughters. Imagine losing them?’ After I said that he just looked at me, looked at me with no feeling or caring in his eyes at all."

Sheehan said what really upset her about the meeting is that Bush appeared to become annoyed and even angry at her daughter Carley, 25, who also attended the White House get-together.

"My daughter said to him directly ‘I wish I could bring my loved one back’ and he said something like ‘so do we.’ Later she told me that after he made his remark he gave her one of the filthiest looks she had ever had gotten in her life.

Lord help us. This person is the most powerful man on the planet...And whats sad most Americans like that.
